Technical details

This reel offers100 mofMercerized cotton. Mercerization smooths the fiber and gives it a slight sheen, which softens a pale color. The mentionNe 50Refers to the fineness of the cotton numbering thread: the higher the number, the finer the strand. The 50 is a versatile sewing thread gauge for light weight fabrics.

Use cases

• On a light grey, off-white or faded blue, this yarn is discreet without cutting through as a pure white yarn would.
• If in doubt between two shades, take the lighter one: a seam seems more sustained than the thread on the spool.
• To thread pieces to be adjusted, use this light thread, and remove the stitches with a seam ripper after the final stitching.
• On a grey and white striped fabric, it slips into both shades without being noticed.

Pair it with pearl grey or ecru cottons. Mother-of-pearl or light corozo buttons finish the work nicely.
